It’s front cover alone is worth a posting of this vallenato
record. They all look as if they’re angry with the fotographer.
The whole Sarmiento family seems to be present, dressed
in their sunday’s clothing and damned serious in what they
do. I think this frontsleeve is both funny and beautyful.
I’m not sure if the whole bunch is also performing here,
including the younger brothers. One way or the other,
the vallenato is of the purest kind and sounds just
the way I like it, how about you ? Can you dig it ?

Goodmorning, it’s been a busy week with little activity
here at the GG. Today it’s sunday and finally a quiet day.
The record we have is one I had waiting for some time now.
It is one that’s got a centerhole which is not in the middle
of the vinyl. My turntable does not have a removable pin
so at first I didn’t know how to get it straight. Recently
someone gave me the idea of placing another mat on top
of the first one so the lp gets up a little higher. This way
we’re able to center the record and record it properly.

Let’s see, the African Brothers International Band of Ghana
always finds a happy listener and I’m sure today’s album
forms no exception in that perspective. It is from 1982
on Jay Jay Records. ‘Take the Message’ is it’s title but
I have no idea what the message is. If you understand
the lyrics, can you reveal please, we’d all be eternally
grateful so thanks in advance. What I do know is that
I love the music, no need to understand the language
to be able to enjoy it. Get and spread as usual..

tracks;

01 – JJ
02 – Adu twumwam
03 – Kwaata

This morning I wanted to rip an album by Jackson do Pandeiro
and only when halfway I realised it was the wrong slice of vinyl
inside. What a shame, time spoiled but not to worry, I decided
to rip a cd with another famous album by Jackson. O Cabra da
peste is originally from 1966 but the cd release is from 2001.

Write his name in our search-bar and find the one album
by his hand we already had. Today’s lp is one in various styles,
from cumbia to cumbión, guaracha, pasaje and such. It bursts
of percussional beats on pots and pans, no just joking but the
tambó is very hot on this album and one song is happier than
the other. I can’t seem to get enough of this sound, how
’bout you ? If anyone should know a year of release,
please do not hesitate and leave us a message.
Meantime give it a spin and enjoy..

Singer Josky Kiambukuta who worked with le grand maître
Franco for so long took a side step with Rigo Star making
this album. I love to see the records in the store they took
the frontcovers picture, Tchico, Theo Blaise, Pamelo Moun’ka,
Pierre Moutouari, Franco, Rochereau, all the 80’s albums
we like so much. ( click on image ) Rigo Star is responsible
for the guitarsound and they both took care of
the vocal parts, hope u like..

Always a thrill to find records on the Machuca label, and when

record straight away. Twelve songs covering styles like merengue
( the Colombian one ), son, paseo, parranda, pasebol & paseaíto.
